Ark is NOT a SEA product. > But then, knowing everything, you knew that already didn't you? I beg to differ. CP/M .ARK's _ARE_ compatible (and the same format) as DOS .ARC's. I use UNARC16 (on a CP/M machine) on both types very regularly, and it groks type 9 compression just fine - it will also unwrap either form of AR[CK] file without noting any difference. For those not already in the know, the only reason an .ARK is not a .ARC is so that you know it's CP/M material inside. -- dg@pallio.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ IHS | +-+-+ ..... !harvard!xait!pallio!dg +-+-+ | AKA: dg%pallio.uucp@xait.xerox.com +---+
